> CfP: SenCity, Uncovering the Hidden Pulse of a City
>

> 9th September 2013, Zurich, Switzerland
>
> In conjunction with Ubicomp 2013
>
>
> Summary and Theme
>
> This is a one day workshop of hands-on, focused activities performed
> in cross-disciplinary groups. The theme and focus of the workshop
> activities is sensing and visualising the "hidden pulse" of the city.
> Groups will be challenged to design and develop a sensing unit that
> will capture some hidden element of Zurich city (e.g. crowdedness,
> pollution levels, etc.). A development kit (consisting of a mini
> processing unit and a variety of pluggable sensors), sample code
> snippets and a development environment will be provided to enable
> rapid prototyping. In addition to learning new hardware and
> development skills, groups will also have the chance to deploy their
> sensing units around Zurich. The captured data will be fed into a
> visualisation framework that will present a combined view of the data
> captured by all groups. Participants will be encouraged to consider
> the hardware involved and the issues of deploying sensors in a
> real-world urban environment as well as the final visuals.
>
>
> Topics of interest
>
> Positions at this hands-on workshop are limited. Therefore we invite
> authors to submit a position paper for peer review (plus accompanying
